Exciting announcement!
The Ocean 5 are rowing the Pacific Ocean in 2024.
After the team’s incredible feat breaking the world record for fastest 5-man team to row across the Atlantic, we thought, why stop there? We are hoping to set another record and beat the current fastest time to row across the Pacific. We will take everything we have learnt from the toughest challenges we faced on the Atlantic and channel this into a new record-breaking attempt on the Pacific.
